I need RIP to postprocess WRFoutputs.
when I use "./configure", the result is as below
I intensively appreciate if any one help me.
please help me to solve this problem.


I think path of NCARG_ROOT is OK.
Because, Test of Below is OK
Test NCL by 3tests
ncl -V
ncl $NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclex/gsun/gsun02n.ncl
ncl $NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclex/nug/NUG_multi_timeseries.ncl

ーーーーーーーーthe result of ./configureーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

Hello,

I have run into this problem installing other post processors for WRF but not with RIP.
Did you install NCL using conda or through a .tar file?

What is happening is the NCL and your RIP gfortran libraries are different. One is older then the other.

IF you used conda to install NCL open conda and try to install RIP again INSIDE the conda environment. This will fix the error of different gfortran libraries being used.

Did you have any luck installing RIP? I am having the same problem.
 
Hi,
I am having similar issues and, unfortunately, since NCL/NCARG libraries are no longer developed, it's been difficult to track down a solution. I'll keep you posted with any information I can find. Thank you for your continued patience.

I have a solution that might work for you. Can you email me? Since I'm not certain it will work on all systems I don't want to post it yet until I'm certain.
